Hi Lloyd, (Jan 2013)
Hi Lloyd,
As you may recall, it was last December 6th that I travelled up to meet you and get introduced to Annie. What a great dog! I get all kinds of compliments on how “sweet” a dog she is. She is fast as lightning, but hunts at a good range and loves the woods. She is on the small side, which is what I wanted, about 36#. She loves to hunt and covers ground with great instinct. She is a sensitive dog so I go easy on her with any reprimands. I still have a ways to go with her pointing, steady to wing and shot etc but we are having FUN. Many times I think of our friend, Jim Knight, and how much I wish he were still around to have fun with us. He would really have enjoyed Annie.
I have watched and enjoyed the videos online with you and Dave Hughes hosted by Paul Fuller. When I play them on the computer and Annie hears your voices and the whistle and bell, she tips her head in curiosity and looks around the room. I have attached a couple of photos of Annie and also her favorite back yard pigeons.
I can’t thank you enough. Keep up your great breeding because I have already told my wife I would like to get another pup from you when Annie gets to be about 8 or so.
All our Best to you & your family for a Happy Holiday Season & a Healthy New Year !!!
